Damascus-Sana
The sculptor chose the artist Ali Mualla stones and woods, as well as the artist Taghreed Bilal Al-Nahas and Silver to document and write history with works of art that tell the Syrian civilization and its history at the 61st Damascus International Fair.
The sculptor and artist Maal between that he did not participate in sculptures today, but chose woodwork because it intersects with the theme "History of the sailing ship," explaining that he made ships for every stage of time since the dawn of history until the Industrial Revolution.
He pointed out that through documents, monuments and stone carvings, it was found that the Phoenicians, the sons of the sea, made the first ship, which was in the form of a tree leaf. The pharaohs took it from them, and then the Phoenician ship evolved in terms of the length and number of sailors marching to the oars to reach thirty sailors. Trade sails and is not used in wars because they are vulnerable to burning by burning arrows and made a model of the most sophisticated sailing ships, a historic British Corina ship containing booths and guns throwing guns driven by gunpowder manufactured at the beginning of the Renaissance.
The artist explained that what he does is to write history in another way truer than the letters, pointing out that he is working on the research in Phoenician history to devise unknown objects and lighting them through his sculptures and wooden figures.
Mualla said that he has a long experience in sculpture, the last of which was sculpted by the martyr's mother at the Tartus forum for the mothers of the martyrs, which is a mother who raises her head to the sky behind him, erecting three helmets for the martyrs.
Taghreed Bilal documents Syrian civilization through paintings made by pressing copper and silver.
Taghreed Lassana indicated that she creates a work of art for every stage in Syria and the East in general.There is a painting of Zenobia, Sargon Akkadi and the Pharaohs, as well as paintings of creators from the Levant region who spread the thought, art and civilization in the world recently as Gibran Khalil Gibran as the early Syrians did.
She explained that the message of the Syrian artist is to show that civilization, which stretches seven thousand years BC and illuminate its symbols to know the world that the country that extends the hand of terrorism to it and destroy its monuments and sculptures destroy that hand, which extended to the world culture, thought, civilization and art.
